I think the majority of people on this site don't use software to manipulate their photos and that they enter the competition just for fun. I like many on here just point and shoot, transfer it on to the PC and then get it put it on here :)Perhaps there should be a separate category for manipulated pictures ?
As has been pointed out, digital software is part of digital photography! That's a fact, plus there is a marked difference between using software to 'develop' photographs and using high-end enhancement programmes to 'doctor' them.
Purely a personal opinion, Ken - but I think the comments on the competition entries should be held back until voting is complete.
